HMC #20: Expressions - Self Portrait

#1

Hello to all!
I decided to participate this time. My original idea was to create Tom Cruise’s head but
I’ve changed my mind because my last self portrait was done nearly 10 years ago…so here it goes. Initial reference images and the progress so far (the main model is still wip):

#2

Looks great so far! Possible collage of funny facial expressions to come, I hope? :smiley:

#3

Thanks! We will see. I think I will go for realistic expressions. :slight_smile:

#4

You’ve got a likeness in there fast! Very naturalistic sculpt too, gonna keep my eye on this one :slight_smile:

#5

Update.
The ‘base expression’ model is finished soon.

#6

Looking good. Keep going.

#7

Update.
Three expressions. Well the first one is the base model, neutral (somewhat…but you could say it’s sad too).
The ‘sad’ expression is very subtle but the feeling is there I think. If you don’t think so, tell me why! :slight_smile:
Next step is to create the gums, teeth.

#8

good work so far - looks like you for sure :slight_smile:

#9

I really like this work man, and you’ve got the likeness in.

One thing that seems a bit different to your reference photos is your muzzle area. In reality you seem to have more pronounced nodes at the side of your mouth, so there’s more movement going on around that area, which is quite smooth/flat on your model.

Doesn’t really seem to affect the likeness though, very nice sculpt.

Thank you guys! :slight_smile:
Update.

#11

Update nr2

All expressions are wip until I say “finished”… of course. :smiley:

#12

excellent I like the two last post, wating for more. :beer:

#13

Thanks!
Here is more. :slight_smile:

#14

Update.
Did not like the ‘angry’ expression so I ‘upgraded’ it. There are others near finish…I just need to find some motivation to sculpt the gums and teeth so they can be finalized.

#15

A new expression. I’ll rework some of the previous ones…I’m not satisfied with them.

#16

Update. I don’t drink alcohol…but I think this is how I would look like sometimes if I would drink too much… :slight_smile:

#17

Update. Disgusted… or similar. :smiley:

#18

:slight_smile: good work!

#19

Now after a day I think the ‘disgusted’ one is awfull…I’ll rework it.
Update. Flirty…or so.

#20

New ‘disgusted’ expression. Do you see now how horrible the previous one was?
